So I opened a care.com account years ago and well never did anything with it.
I just started working on the account (due to mainly I am starting to look for a new job after 3 years). Well I went to put in my past work history and I can't unless I give my employers full names and email address. I feel that the full names are very personal and the emails is just too much. I have a NDR and can't even talk about who I work for. Care.coms response just put no work history and when I start up a conversation with a family tell them my work history. Well who will hire me with out prior work history!! Ugh Care.com is just a mess |

| Where do you see this? I have a free account and I have parent contacting me left and right and I don't have any work history listed besides what I typed up in my profile. |

| When I tried to put in work history. The site wants me to add a family name (if I didn't get the job from a family I contacted from care). So then it wants the first and last name and email contact. I refuse to give it and when I contacted care they just said that I could tell my work history to prospective parents once we are in communication with each other. |

| Why don't you just write Confidential in each field, and put some bogus email as an email. As an employer, I think the only thing I see is that you worked for a family with so many kids between such dates... |

Did that and my work history got denied. All of it needs to be approved before hand by the care.com staff and they won't let us nannies do that. |

If you are a high end well paid experienced nanny why are you using care.com? |

| I've never added work history and have never had trouble getting a job. Just don't put anything. In your bio say you x years of experiences caring for kids between the ages of X and X with most experience being yy. Then state the kinds of activities you do, whether you're willing to do light housekeeping, a line or two about your style and done. When people contact you for interviews let them know you'll being your resume or can email it to them. I don't get why you're having such a problem with this. |

Because many well paid high-end positions come on Care.com all the time. At least 80% of the position listed with agencies are also listed online, agencies use online to find candidates. Don't judge a nanny who uses online as not being high-end.

Maybe to find babysitting gigs, but there is hardly ever a high paying job on care.com. Even limited to 5 miles around Georgetown 80% of the listing say $10/hr. |

Depends on where you live. Where I live at least half of the postings on Care.com are from agencies and the salaries are usually fairly good. |

Do you realize how ridiculous you sound? The website is named DC urban moms and dads. It is not crazy to analyze posts from a DC perspective. YOU are the stupid one posting general information expecting us to know you aren't from here. Find your own site if you don't like it. And yes Jeff will disagree because he makes only off of you being here, but this crap waters down the quality of his site. |

Wow someone forgot their coffee this morning and drank bitch juice instead! Way to start calling names but yet someone not from the area is bringing down the site!? |
